Game estates

65C: Use and disposal of animal material and product from game estate animals

You could also call this:

"Rules for handling and using animal products from animals hunted on game estates"

If you are a client hunter, you can kill or process a game estate animal yourself, or have it processed by a listed homekill or recreational catch service provider, as stated in section 68. You can do this on the game estate or on your own property. A game estate operator can also dress and process a game estate animal for you, but only if they are a listed homekill or recreational catch service provider.

A game estate operator does not need to be listed as a homekill or recreational catch service provider if they only do limited processing, such as removing trophy heads or skinning killed animals. They also do not need to be listed if they only prepare and serve the recreational catch as a meal to you or your party.

A game estate operator can have a game estate animal killed or processed by a listed homekill or recreational catch service provider for their own use, as stated in section 67. They can also sell or dispose of parts of a game estate animal, such as skins or trophy heads, that are not for human or animal consumption. Additionally, they can sell or dispose of parts of a game estate animal to a renderer, as stated in section 167(1).

If a game estate operator is listed, they can present killed game estate animals for primary processing, as stated in Parts 2 to 4, for use or consumption as regulated animal product.
